Antimicrobial additives are the solutions that are infused into products during manufacturing to kill microorganisms and pathogens or inhibit their growth. These microorganisms include bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, and microbes. The antimicrobial additives are majorly used in plastics, inks, textiles, papers, fabric care, paints & coatings, and rubber to improve their performance and durability. These additives inhibit the growth of odor and stain-causing microbes in the product and help in maintaining hygiene and freshness. Therefore, these additives enhance product performance by permanently reducing the negative effects of microbes.

Antimicrobial Additives Market: Growth Factors

The rising consumer awareness regarding the increasing number of health issues is the major factor anticipated to drive the antimicrobial additives market in the upcoming years. Hygiene issues have become more prevalent across various developing economies. Medical devices use antimicrobial additives to prevent the growth of microbes on the surfaces of devices and equipment. These additives are used in the production of medical devices, such as guidewires, sheaths, access systems, diagnostic catheters, guiding catheters, etc., to avoid microbial growth. Furthermore, antimicrobial additives are also used in the packaging of products and help in preventing food, beverages, and medicines from spoiling. Therefore, the growing packaging industry is likely to positively influence the antimicrobial additives market in the upcoming years. However, the stringent regulations regarding the approval of these additives from the government may hamper this market’s growth in the future.
